.png) Sarja uusia ominaisuuksia ja vanhojen uudelleenjärjestelyjä Vektori-ulkoasuun
|
Nyt on kulunut yli kymmenen vuotta siitä, kun Wikimedian nykyinen oletusulkoasu Vektori otettiin käyttöön. Viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana käyttöliittymää on rikastettu laajennuksilla, gadgeteilla ja käyttäjäskripteillä. Suurinta osaa niistä ei ole koordinoitu visuaalisesti tai wikienvälisesti. Samaan aikaan sekä verkkosuunnittelu että lukijoiden ja muokkaajien odotukset ovat kasvaneet ja kehittyneet. Mielestämme on aika ottaa joitain näistä ideoista ja tuoda ne kaikkien käyttäjien oletusnäkymään, kaikkiin wikeihin, järjestäytyneellä ja johdonmukaisella tavalla. Over the following decade, the interface was enriched with extensions, gadgets and user scripts. Most of these were not coordinated visually or between wikis. At the same time, web design, as well as the expectations of readers and editors, evolved. Finally, we decided to take some of these ideas and bring them to the default experience of all users, on all wikis, in an organized, consistent way.
Between 2019 and 2023, we were building a new skin. We wanted to make Wikimedia wikis more welcoming, and to increase the utility amongst readers and maintain utility for existing editors. We were measuring the increase of trust and positive sentiment towards our sites, and the utility of our sites (the usage of common actions such as search and language switching).
In 2022, the new skin became ready to be the default. Since then, we are introducing it on more and more wikis. Ultimately, we need to have one skin as the default everywhere. This is because keeping two as the default indefinitely is impossible.
Updates
marraskuu 2023: Visual changes, more deployments, and shifting focus
?vectorzebradesign=0)
?vectorzebradesign=1)New styling inspired by Zebra prototype
As part of Zebra #9 prototype, which we wrote about in the last two updates, we introduced two kinds of visual changes: color-based area separation, and other CSS modifications. As we reported previously, the A/B test didn't prove that the color-based separation was an improvement. We focused on the other CSS modifications instead, and we're implementing these changes now. To preview the difference, you may use URL parameters: ?vectorzebradesign=0 (without the changes) and ?vectorzebradesign=1 (with the changes). The changes are:
- Dropdown menus (the sidebar, table of contents, user menu, and tools menu when not pinned) have a lighter outline and drop-shadow.
- The "siirrä sivupalkkiin"/ "piilota" buttons in the dropdown menus have a gray background instead of the square brackets.
- The main menu no longer has a gray background when it is placed in the side column (when it's pinned). Instead, all menus have the same appearance when placed in the side columns.
- The left and right columns have equal width.
- Due to the change above, the content width gets slightly narrower when menus are pinned in both columns.
- The gap between the table of contents and content area is smaller.
In mid-November, we shipped these changes to the following Wikipedias: French, Catalan, Hebrew, Polish. We are planning on introducing these changes across all the wikis within 2-3 weeks. These will enable future modifications, like the Accessibility for reading menu.
Continuing deployments of the Vector 2022 skin
Since our last update, we have changed the default skin on a few Wikipedias: Dutch, Hindi, Hungarian, Norwegian (bokmål), and Swedish. We have also released a short video about the skin. In addition, after receiving all logos from our Design team, we were also ready to continue the wide-scale deployments on sister projects.
- The Vector 2022 skin is now the default on all non-English Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiquotes, Wikiversity, as well as on Meta-Wiki.
- We are continuing conversations and scheduling deployments to the remainder of sister projects, beginning with non-English Wikisource, Wiktionary, and Wikivoyage.
Some of these projects may need adjustments, like default settings for limited/full-width at namespaces unique to Wikisource. Gadgets or user scripts may need to be updated, too. We gladly make fixes or assist in making them, depending on whether changes need to be made in the skin itself or a community-controlled code. Reach out to us on the Desktop Improvements talk page or write directly to SGrabarczuk (WMF) if you have any questions or requests for further changes.
Focusing on further desktop and mobile readability improvements
The team has shifted focus onto the Accessibility for reading project. We will work on improvements in typography and introduce dark mode to the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins. Please visit the project page for more details and information on how to get involved.

Tällä hetkellä käyttöliittymä...
…ei vastaa odotuksia. …on sotkuinen eikä kovinkaan intuitiivinen. …didn't highlight the community side. …ei ole yhdenmukainen mobiiliversion kanssa.
- The desktop interface did not match the expectations created by the modern web platforms. It felt disorienting and disconnected. Navigation and interface links were organized haphazardly.
- There was clutter that distracted users from focusing on what they came for. It was challenging for readers to focus on the content. It was not possible for them to intuitively switch languages, search for content, or adjust reading settings. New editors were unable to use their intuition to set up their account, open the editor, or learn how to use non-article pages for moderation purposes.
- Vain hyvin pieni osa lukijoista todella ymmärtää Wikimedian wikien toimintaa. Suuri osa lukijoista ei tiedä lainkaan lukevansa vapaaehtoisten lisäämää ja säännöllisesti päivittämää sisältöä eikä tiedä voivansa itsekin osallistua muokkaamiseen.
- The large difference in experiences among our desktop interface, apps, and the mobile web, made it difficult for readers to connect our products. There was a lack of unity in the concept of Wikimedia sites.
Miten muutoksia tehdään
Periaatteet
Emme koske lainkaan sisältöön. Koskemme vain ja ainoastaan Vektori-ulkoasuun. Emme poista yhtäkään toiminnallisuutta. We were inspired by the existing gadgets. We did not make major changes in single steps.
- We work on the interface only. No work was done in terms of styling templates, the structure of page contents, map support, or cross-wiki templates.
- Skins other than Vector were out of the scope of our project. We have frozen Vector to Legacy Vector, and begun deploying our features as parts of the new default Vector.
- We were moving around the elements of the interface, but all navigational items and other functionality available previously by default remained.
- We analysed many wikis and noticed many useful gadgets. Some of them deserved to be surfaced and be a part of default experience.
- We tested our improvements in collaboration with a diverse set of volunteering early adopter (pilot) wikis, both Wikipedias and sister projects.
- We took an evolutionary approach. We wanted the pilot wikis to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors. Each feature was discussed, developed, and deployed separately.
- Both prior to development and after deployment, we collected data (via A/B testing, prototype feedback rounds, etc.). In the case of significantly negative results, we rolled back our changes.
